With so many changes to the game and it's comunity we keep seeing new people posting their own threads on the Besaid Forum looking for LSs. This is probbaly happening due to the large ammount of the players base at the game's incertion having given up and moved on to other pastures.

Thank you for keeping this thread up to date! Just wanted to let you know that Hakuna-Matata is putting recruitment on freeze right now as we work on building up and developing our lower leveled LS members. Recruitment will commence once we have our most-active members up to at least Rank 30 in their chosen job.

So maybe a (recruitment on freeze) next to our LS name would suffice to tell people who are inquiring that we're not currently recruiting? Or whatever way you feel is best. People can still apply through the website but approvals will be delayed for the next little while.

As oposed to the previous thread that we had here in Besaid with a list of Linkshells I'm gonna try and keep the information in it as updated as possible. As such I will be looking into checking if the Linkshells present on the list are still going and a viable choice to make.

Linkshells which I find might have been dead will have an anotation added to their entry on the list themselves explaining why that is so for a couple weeks untill I will eventually take them off the list. During this time the officer(s) of said LS have the oportunity to let me know theirs is still a valid LS and for me to let it stay on the list.

Hey Hugus, can you please edit the entry to Hakuna Matata? We've brought up most of our active members to R30's and can start recruiting again. Cheers! And yes, there are some LS's on that list that are no longer active so there's a much needed edit needed :)

As you can see I've added your Linkshell to the list but would just like to bring to your attention that there are already a few social Linkshells in the server. Granted that some of them will have a minimum rank requirement but not all. Our own Seraphim LS has no such requirememnts and even this past week we took in a brand new player to the game.

Thanks for putting me on the list! I probably did a bad job of describing the kind of shell I want to have, while I want it to be laid back & social I also intend to do hardcore leveling & scheduled events (but I wont require anyone to participate in anything). When I said my main goal was to have a shell new players could join, I wasn't implying other shells may not accept people who just started playing. I'm saying if there are new players out there who would rather build one up with other new players, instead of joining a large older shell that's already accomplished everything in the game, this is the place to go ^^ I just thought it would be more exciting to do everything for the first time together instead of being "just another noob" somewhere else lol :)
